Bengals host UC punter Kevin Huber in private workout

Back in February, word reached us that the Bengals were very interested in University of Cincinnati punter, Kevin Huber. Since 2004, only 11 punters have been drafted; Huber figures to be added to that list. His numbers at UC:

Career Statistics
Year	GP	Punts	Yds	Avg	Lg	IN20	BLK
2004	RS	-	-	-	-	-	-
2005	3	5	166	33.2	49	3	0
2006	1	2	101	50.5	51	2	0
2007	13	57	2,672	46.9	62	20	0
2008	14	60	2,697	45.0	64	24	0
Totals	31	124	5,636	45.5	64	49	0

According to PFT, via a league source, the Bengals are "conducting a private workout for" Huber on Thursday. On Friday, Huber will be in New Orleans for a workout and he's already visited the Eagles, Jets, Dolphins, Broncos and Patriots.

Kyle Larson is under fire after ranking worse than 25th in both net and gross average punts for the past two seasons. Then again, if you punt 100 times in one season, like Kyle Larson did in 2008, likely the leg is saying "game over, man. Game over!"

WFTV Ch. 9 Video - 38yo rookie punter/quarterback looks for his place in pro football

For those of you who don’t know Mr. FakePunts: www.fakepunts.com

As I told the editor from Winnipeg; Although I punted a 5.63 second hang time punt at the Stampeders 2009 tryout and a 5.9 sec. 52 yarder, wind aided, timed by two witnesses two days prior (hang times only produced by a small number of current NFL punters such as Shane Lechler, Andy Lee, Mike Scifres, Matt Turk … and yet its likely none of them have hit a 6.0 this year, … with passing skills that are still above and beyond all other punters), I’m getting attention, but not the serious attention I’m looking for… Since the Blue Bombers refused to allow me to tryout in Deland this year…It looks like I’ll have to come back next year for both the NFL and CFL open camps, with a record breaking, mind blowing, semi-consistent 6.0-6.2 sec. hang time punts and we’ll see what happens…
